SSK 256GB USB Flash Drive 550MB/s USB 3.2 Gen2 USB Thumb Drive Fast Transfer Speed Externel Solid State Drive +USB C Adapter USB C Memory Stick for Type C Smartphone,MacBook/Pro/Air Laptop and More

Anyone need a true SS 2TB stick, this it is! Tested on torrenting applications...just like you who are reading this is planning to use. Don't deny it ;)PositivesVery fast, registers as a 3.2usb device. The speeds are blazing (untested) from a user experience only.Great heat distribution, this stick as you can imagine can get hot. The case around it is made of steel. It's created to cool down upon high file transfers. No other USB stick I found uses the entire stick as a heatsink to keep itself cool. My only complaint is not paying for copper instead of steal. Some users have reported that this can be modified in the future (outside warranty).*** I have confirmed this is a TRUE 2TB. Does NOT recycle data.NeutralIt's a beast when it comes to durability and ruggness. It's a tough monster that is heavy. If your looking for something light for keychain, look elsewhere. Yes keep any magnetics away from this too.NegativesHmm, no other color options? Copper would be a better more costly metal.I don't think encryption hardware/software is included (use your own).

Great flash drive. Works great in my Pioneer Tablet Apple Play radio’s USB.

Wow!! This drive is awesome! Big space, really fast!! Impressive speed!! Does get really hot when copying large drive data, 247GB to be exact. But for the speed, super happy. Will buy a second one soon!!Size:huge! 2 trillion bytes!Storage capacity: bigger than my laptop driveValue for money:I think it is a great value to backup valuable data

Good size feels like full metal design good quality, fast transfer rates and the price is unbeatable

I got this not sure how fast it would be, because the last flashdrive I got was unreliable and overheated. This one definitely gets warm after use, but it is so blazing fast. I have been using it for months now and have transferred so many files. I am extremely happy with it. The solid metal feel is sturdy and resistant while also protecting your fingers from the heat when you reach for it.It managed to make it through a hectic move across the country and I love the USB-C that comes with it. My Dad only has USB-C ports so it's perfect when he asks me for my videos. It transfers Gigabytes of data in seconds! Don't go for the ultra cheap ones, they don't store as much as advertised, are unreliable, and slow. My Dad lost Gigabytes of data because of this. Get this so you don't waste your time, and start enjoying blazing fast and reliable file transfers!

2023-09-23 UPDATE:Do not buy this drive because it falls apart. See the attached photo.This happened to me soon after I bought my first drive, but at that time, SSK answered my email and sent me a free replacement.The exact same defect happened with the replacement several month later. When I emailed SSK recently, they refused to reply.The company clearly has deep quality problems. This is a shame, because the drive has potential.Also, the #1 feature that I used to like about this drive was that it had sustained good transfer speeds (see original review below). But lately I have noticed that its transfer speed seems to oscillate. (Well, it could be caused by the source SATA SSD that I am copying files from that is the culprit, but I think that it is more like the SSK thumb drive that I am copying to.)--------------------------------------------------ORIGINAL review:I am hungry for a high performance flash drive. I want an SSD on a small stick.The number 1 defect in every flash drive that I have owned up till now is that you get their rated speeds for maybe10-30 seconds, and then, due to crap thermal designs, the controller detects over heating and throttles the speed down by 3-5X. Disaster when you want to do serious file transfers.This drive, however, is the first that I have ever owned which seems to maintain its speed over long time periods. Writing a 20 GB file to it sees no diminishment in speed over the minute or so that that takes.I also love how the width and depth of this drive are minimal.My main complaint about this drive is that I do not like its flip cap. I would prefer a traditional cap. SSK: just make sure that you can put the cap on the non port end when you have the drive inserted, so that you do not lose the cap.SSK: you also need to revise this product to have a USBC-C version that gets the speeds of the Kingston DataTraveler Max. I would have bought the Kingston, but a) it is way too wide (causes port crowding) and b) it thermally throttles.

I put a Linux OS on the drive and leave it plugged in and boot from it. I’m happy with it after 2 weeks. Time will tell.

Had this product for 2 years now and still works the way it was intended. It does tend to get hot while being used for hours but haven’t seen any issues with performance.
